London - Vogue is set to launch its debut issue of Vogue Poland tomorrow,
on February 14. Marking the 23rd global edition of the fashion bible from
Conde Nast, the inaugural print issue of the magazine will launch
simultaneously with its digital platform, vogue.pl as well as its
corresponding social media channels.

Vogue Poland, which will be published under a licence agreement with media
venture Visteria, first magazine issue will be available through
country-wide distribution. "There is no questioning that Vogue Polska is
the most eagerly awaited title of the last decade. It answers the needs of
Polish women with an affinity for beauty and elegance," says Justyna
Markiewicz, Managing Director of Visteria, the publisher of Vogue's Polish
edition in a statement. "The launch of the magazine was a conscious
business decision in response to the rapid growth of Poland's luxury goods
market."

The March issue launch cover, shot by Juergen Teller, features Polish
models Anja Rubik and Małgosia Bela, who pose in front of the Palace of
Culture and Science in Warsaw. The debut issue includes a photographic
portfolio produced by Teller as well as an eclectic mix of fashion and
portraits celebrating Polish icons in art, culture, and politics. The first
edition also aims to highlight the work of numerous Polish fashion
designers, as will each issue, together with Polish and international
contributors.

"Whenever I tell people that we are about to launch Vogue Poland, I am
asked the same question: ‘Is there no Polish Vogue already?’," adds Karina
Dobrotvorskaya, President of Condé Nast International New Markets and
Editorial Director of Brand Development. "Indeed, Poland, with its economic
stability and great appetite for luxury goods, seems a very natural fit for
Vogue. It is a long-anticipated brand there, the Polish audience is
definitely ready for it. Vogue Poland is a big step forward for Condé
Nast’s ongoing expansion into Eastern Europe."

Members of the editorial team include Filip Niedenthal, Editor-in-Chief of
Vogue Poland and Małgosia Bela, Editor-at-Large, an internationally
recognised model who also acts as the magazine’s ambassador and liaison.
Joanna Lorynowicz has been appointed Deputy Editor, Łukasz Aksamit as the
Art Director, and Daniela Agnelli as the Style Director, after having
previously held the same role at Vogue Arabia and The Sunday Telegraph
Magazine.

Eleven issues will be released during the year. In addition to the
two-month summer issue (July-August), the magazine will be published
monthly and retail for PLN 16,90. Vogue is currently published in 22
